Title: Baedeker's Russia 1914 Reprint 1971
Description: George Allen & Unwin ; David & Charles, 1971. "Baedeker's Russia 1914 catches the nation still open to western tourists and increasing hits amenities for them just before the curtain fell. The (original) English edition is very rare ; it was quickly obsolete , and reprinting was out of the question following the war and revolution. The Russia it describes was passing through the most critical two decades of its history. The country had not yet recovered from the shock od defeat by the Japanese in 1905, world war was about to be declared, and the social forces that were to explode in the 1917 revolution were simmering. This edition covers not only Russia, but also Poland, Finland, Persia, Manchuria and Peking." (Publisher's notice) Original maps were all in color, in this reprint in black & white.. London, très bon
